Playing around in a pressing plant and coming up with inventive packaging ideas is fun.
No one has a problem with musicians playing around with all the gimmicks, bells and whistles in a recording studio.

I have an LL 10" from '88 which has Jack The Ripper and Going Back To Cali as a double groove. I also have a John Cooper Clarke 45 from '79 with a double groove.
In the early 90s, there was a brief trend amongst Detroit techno labels for mastering shit to play inside out. Underground Resistance had a couple, Reese did one, and there were a few more, the details of which I can't remember.

There were LP's made in the late 50's-early 60's that had between 6-10 grooves.
They were Horse Racing records that would have a different winner depending on what groove the needle was tracking.
OKay, y'all. Only people you hated from afar liked them. Got it.
Nope..had goofy coworkers that repped them for three years to never speak on them afterwards.
I still like you, its cool.

I'm actually not still trying to champion them as anything today. I was just using them as a past example for another point. Didn't expect any backlash. But hey, nothing should surprise.

Yeah, when they would rock out, they would rock the fuck out. Opposed to similar bands today that never get to rocking the fuck out...ever.
Hidden tracks under the label = obsessive collectros have to buy 2 copies (one to soak the labels off so that you can play, and one to keep in OG condition). At least that's what I'd do if Jack White was something I collected. The Hologram sounds pretty dope and I' d like to see it.

edit: I have several different Omar-S releases from the mid 2000's that play inside out and have a locked groove at the outer edge.
In terms of hidden tracks, you don't have to hide it under the label. It can be done in the deadwax just like on Hugh Masekela's - 'Masekela' Side 2, there's a hidden track in the deadwax.

Supposedly the label sticks into the grooves and you can actually play the song through he label but it sounds rough. I'm sure it's not good for the record needle or label.

That sort of defies logic though. Even smashed into the grooves, the paper of the label would cancel out the shapes in the groove. But maybe like you said, it's rough, like it's pushed in enough to conform to the grooves, but I still don't understand how that could possibly work. Maybe the label is in colored wax in the center.
Also, I wonder if a lot of the people who would buy this have a turntable that would automatically pick
up the arm when it got that far into the label area?
Regardless, this is the most the strut has talked about dude in a while, so gimmicky or not, it's working as a promotional tool.

I assumed everyone already saw this but I guess not. They play the center track under the label. Just sounds like a kid singing or something. If someone is really into records they should have a player with a fully manual tone arm.

Could be it's the labels that contain the grooves like those record postcards that I think were plastic coated paper with the groove pressed in.
Edit: in the video above they explain that the groove was actually covered by the paper label blababla... Very cool presentation video by the way.
Nice video explaining everything. I can't hate. They're having fun with it and are fully aware of the big picture with the "we'll never know if we're the first to do this, you'd have to listen to every piece of vinyl ever" and "you don't need a slide rule to listen to this album, you can just put it on and let it play."
I have two white stripes records, and they're both listenable. De Stijl and the one whatever has the one white one red double LP. I definitely had a Z-trip style 7 nation army superbeatmix in my bedroom deejay sets for a few months, and cannot believe how crazy it is that shit got euro-soccer-chanted up and now I hear it at NBA games. So good. Now? Why now? Is he less of a jock than Freddie Merczx, thereby making the sportsfan chanting his song the weirdest ever?
I'll keep taking my time checking out his albums, so as not to overdose.
I had a rapping 7" that went backwards, from some superscientifical / self-aware funny caucazoidcrew I forget the name of. Did not pass GOOD MUSIC test. It is gone.
I kinda like the guy.
I don't own any of his music, but I like what I hear.
I liked that doc he was in with Page and the Edge too.
That was a good doc. It could have been brilliant with someone other than the Edge. It made me sick to have one of the worst perpetrators of inflated arena rock present himself as a punk veteran.
I thought early U2 was given Post -Punk credibilty.
Sham from day one????
Most definitely.
I think it comes from when the band first got started no? Before they were U2 they were playing and covering punk songs. And as my memory goes into remembering what I once saw in an interview WAY back in the day, the U2 name came from one of the dudes from the Irish punk band The Radiators From Space who was a friend of theirs.
In any case. I liked that doc with Page and White and the Edge... The part with Page gushing over Link Wray always comes up in my head from time to time.

I don't think I knew that. But I know those records. I think they were part of a board game.
also loved JW's blunderbuss record..

Have to admit, first I ever heard of that.
